Our take

Made by the renowned film collective Jatrik, this underappreciated gem of ’70s Bengali cinema features a mesmerizing (and award-winning!) central performance from the legendary actor Uttam Kumar, alongside a similarly captivating Aparna Sen. Rich with intrigue, drama, and a breathtaking twist.
